Garmin is voluntarily recalling certain nüvi devices that contain a specific battery that was manufactured by the battery supplier within a limited date code range. Garmin has identified potential overheating issues when certain batteries manufactured by the third-party battery supplier within a limited date code range are used in certain Garmin nüvi models with a specific printed circuit board (PCB) design. It appears that the interaction of these factors can, in rare circumstances, increase the possibility of overheating, which may lead to a fire hazard. Although there have been no injuries or significant property damage caused by this issue, Garmin is taking this action out of an abundance of caution .
The recalled devices include a small subset of the following nüvi model numbers:
nüvi 200W, 250W, & 260W
nüvi 7xx (where xx is a two-digit number)
You can determine your nüvi model number by looking at the label on the back or bottom of your nüvi.
If you have an affected unit, an e-mail with instructions and personalised return label arrives within minutes ... However the instructions (last week's version) run out after "stick the label on the packet". It doesn't look like the sort of label that would work with Royal Mail, and a quick call to Garmin support (really, very quick!) elicited the missing final step: call UPS on 08457 877877 to arrange collection. Once I'd done that the UPS man was here within a couple of hours. _________________ J D Gwinnell
